DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) Toronto picked Drew Hutchison to make his first opening-day start, and the right-hander is slated to face the Yankees and Masahiro Tanaka on April 6 in New York.

Toronto also released Dayan Viciedo from his minor league contract; reassigned left-hander Jeff Francis, outfielder Caleb Gindl and infielder Jonathan Diaz to their minor league camp; and optioned catcher Josh Thole to Triple-A Buffalo.

At 24 years old, Hutchison will be the youngest opening-day starter in franchise history. He is 1-2 with a 4.80 ERA in three career starts at Yankee Stadium.
